You’re right, there is that. That would be FCPX, Apple’s latest in the CFP line. If you are a professional, or looking to be pro. AVOID IT. Google why FCPX is NOT a professional editing system yet. Im sure plenty of here back up that point of view. FCP7 (the one i directed you to) is Apple’s last release of ‘professional’ editing software.

Something else to think about- FCP6 doesn’t work in Lion, FCP7 does. If you want to keep up to date, then might be a consideration 🙂

Woah hangon a second, “The 60D is a camera that has all the bells and whistles that a professional camera man would ever want”?
I think that’s a little overating the 60D, sorry to bring gloom and all but am I missing something here? 60D colour space, not good. 60D rolling shutter, not good. 60D moire, not good. 60D recording length, not good. 60D build quality, not amazing. 60D sound recording, pretty abysmal (no XLR input for example). 60D battery life, not fantastic for video. 60D ‘run and gun’ capabilities therefore- not good. For a short film camera where artistic shooting, shallow DOF and nice bokeh is necessary, DSLRs are great, but I wouldnt ever describe one as having all the ‘bellls and whistles’ a pro would use. Although people seem to be thinking less and less of what a pro needs…take FCPX for example….
Sorry, just saw this post and felt a strong need to jump in with that. Also would like to add the dual processors and recording format (CF) of the 7D make it a better camera for not worrying about video dropping, and it also deals with noise slightly better. An articulated screen is only a bonus…

See? As i said- simple. Thanks very much,, I think i was looking at complicated solutions so much that I missed a simple one. 😀

“The question is with all the rumors (as well what Larry Jordan claims) that a new FInal Cut Pro or Studio is on its way!”
Thats correct, although as with all Apple stuff, no one bar a few very high up people know the actual date of release.“Should I give it a wait, if so, what do think how long will it take until the facility are updated to teach?”
Im not sure that question made entire sense…😀

Shane, you can use it in compressor by selecting the format as “QuicktTime Export Components” and then set the encoder type to “Elgato Turbo.H264 HD”, on the inspector panel. When you use compressor this way, it still gives you the option to use multiclusters when you slick ‘submit’, but I wasn’t sure how this works alongside a turbo or whether it could even potentially be a disadvantage?

From what I’ve read and know, HQ was developed with 10 bit/ uncompressed in mind. Both HDV and the 7Ds H264 both are 420 and highly compresed acquisition codecs, in fact, HDV is considered widely as a non full- raster codec (not “true” HD, dare I use that term even though it sickens me slightly). HQ has a very large bandwidth as it were to encompass thus. So not only will you be wasting a lot of disk space, you will also be slowing the process down by using more processor power. Standard 422 is meant to be able to take many generations of compression, so as long as you keep a tidy workflow and aren’t recompressing hundreds of times, you won’t and shouldn’t have to worry about generational loss
anyway. Seriously, I can’t see any reason why you’d want HQ when your acquisitions were what they were.
You can’t add colour information, generational loss isn’t an
issue, and even if you come to use better sources (even if they’re high quality graphics or something) 422 is an acceptable level of subsampling for pretty much every HD channel I have looked at.
Hopefully someone will confirm all of this for both of us, but as Isay I’m going offprevious posts and the White paper about prores (can’t find it now, I’ll have a loom through my inbox and see if I can to send it to you).😀

Sorry this may have been covered before, but why would you ever want to convert HDV to PR 422 HQ? Isn’t that just like using a bigger container for the same amount of rice? It doesn’t have any advantages with HDV. (Could be wrong here, just am sure a lot of people have said that in previous posts).

No, capture to standard prores 422, HQ will just fill up more space with no point.
